Yes. There will be an application that will be downloadable from the Apple App Store. It will allow you to View Corporate and Online Maps, pick maps from a map gallery, query and analyse data, collect and report information.

There is also an SDK for developing custom iPhone applications. This will require a MAC computer for development and use of Objective C / Cocoa to build the native iPhone applications. The functionality available in the SDK should be equivalent to that in the REST based APIs. This means it will only support online applications, rather than disconnected applications.

ESRI have been working on this release for more than three years, and it’s a very large release. Feedback from beta testers indicated that this is much bigger than a dot release and that it should be called ArcGIS 10. For ArcGIS 10, ESRI have integrated not only the work that has been performed in the base software but also initiatives in cloud computing and the Web.

No. Virtual Machines are the solutions for running the two different installs on the same machine.

Search with ArcGIS Desktop, ArcGIS Server, and ArcGIS Online is based on a small collection of metadata stored with the GIS resources (title, user tags, etc). Keep in mind that this new search capability is not designed to handle indexing and searching of formal metadata documents and that spatial search against GIS resources is not supported at this time.

• ArcGIS Desktop search - Desktop search allows every ArcGIS Desktop user to very quickly search across accessible network folders (shared folders) and databases.
• ArcGIS Server search - ArcGIS Server introduces a new search service that allows you to index and search GIS resources within your Enterprise in a centralised manner. The search service is designed to be used by ArcGIS Desktop users within an organization's intranet.
• ArcGIS Online search - ArcGIS Online provides a hosted catalog of information in which users can upload their own resources and create their own groups. The ArcGIS Online search is intended for organisations who want to share their data with the general public or within the organisation via a group.

In addition, the GeoPortal Extension for ArcGIS Server allows users to quickly search GIS resources within the organisation, via ArcGIS Online, or across other metadata catalogs.
